Fulton (8-3) and its full-court trapping and pressing defense put a halt into the Lady Wildcats momentum for the second straight game as they lost to Hardin Valley on Friday.

After winning six straight games, the Lady Wildcats have lost four of their last six and fallen to within one of a .500 record.

"At this point in the season, when you lose you cringe because at this point you want to get better and taking a step back is not something we need to do," coach Kerra Jackson said.

Fulton jumped out to an early lead with their full-court defense forcing 12 turnovers in the first half and gaining a 35-16 advantage at halftime.

A 19-4 run throughout the second quarter was the main culprit. Down 12, Oak Ridge looked like it was going to get a spark as Whitney Mitchell blocked a shot and took it the length of the floor only to have it stripped from her hands by Jayda Johnson. Johnson threw it the length of the court the other way to an open Tyana Castle for the Lady Falcons score to keep the run going.
